Chapter 9 Ferry (1)

It was slightly different from what Link expected. The great priest took action himself and the identification technique enveloped the entire hotel in a range mode. It took not long to complete the inspection of the survivors. These people had neither been bitten by vampires nor were they fatal corrupt poisons.

Perhaps he didn't want to expose the town being controlled by the undead, and the vampire baron strictly controlled his food. In this chaotic world, who would care about the safety of strangers, especially those blood slaves who sold their money and goods as a guise. This kind of thing is common for business travelers who went out. No one would notice that these men who followed the woman to leave will never return. In addition, the eastern part of the mainland has always been the realm of mages and wood elves. For hundreds of years, it has been difficult for the Morning Sect to grow here, so Gunter's situation has not been discovered.

Everyone was eager to leave this place controlled by the undead. Even if the undead in the town had been wiped out, they still didn't want to stay any longer.

Orlando counted roughly, and there were nearly a hundred people. There were so many people on the road together, even if there were mercenaries to help, it would be very difficult to take into account both the beginning and the end. Who can guarantee that they would not encounter refugees and undead again on the way?

Link's point of view is even more pessimistic than the half-elves. Shuanghan has seen through his disguise, and with Doyle, it will only be more dangerous for these people to go on the road with them.

Alicina and Doyle fully utilized the characteristics of the order camp and insisted on escorting these people to the next safe settlement.

Since the undead will choose its stronghold here, it must be because it is the only place for Vaulet to Kabaire. The Dawn Sect is far behind. Most of the native nobles of Kabaire are cowards who care about themselves, and perhaps they will send other high-level undead to regain control.

It is certain that they go, but the four of them had serious differences on which road they took. They stayed in Jafar Town, and the other four retreated to the street outside the hotel to discuss.

The closest human settlement is Bunian in the north, but it will pass through the rising sea of ​​storms, and it is also the area where the undead appear the most.

The area of ​​Corning Fort to the east is the same as that of Grantham in Befest, and is a military fortress with thousands of troops.

The south of Gunter borders Esson. Although it has the most detours, it is the safest road.

Orlando believed that going south could ensure the safety of these people, but the two believers in Morning Light did not think so. Koning is a major border town in Kabaire, with an army of more than 5,000 people stationed. He should not be as easy as Gunter to be controlled by the undead.

Link, who had personally experienced the siege of the undead, does not think so. Grantham has a larger population than Fort Korning. The Watch Castle and the Revenge Army are elite troops that fight against the undead for many years. They are not forced to the point where the undead are at the end of their lives. There is no such thing as a large number of people, but they just want peace of mind.

Of course, he couldn't really leave such dozens of people alone.

The opinions were not agreed upon, and the three of them turned their attention to Link at the same time.

Hum? Do you want to listen to my opinion...Link carefully replied: "If I say I will choose the north side."

"Why?" Orlando didn't understand why Link chose such a dangerous path?

"I know it may be a trap, but I still have to drill there. Isn't this equivalent to suicide?" Doyle asked in a bad tone.

"Since everyone thinks that there is unsafe and will not choose that path, it is the best choice for us, and the danger and instability can be minimized."

Unlike Doyle, who was in a rebellious period, just wanted to sing a counter-tune, Alicina wanted to hear Link's reason, "Can you explain in detail why you chose the North?"

Link nodded and continued, "We have been targeted by the dead. Whether we go south and east, what is waiting for us will be a big net that has been prepared. It will only be more dangerous for these people to act with us."

"You mean... the Koning Fort would be controlled by the undead like here?" Alicina didn't want to think about the worst. The total population of Koning Fort is over 10,000, and almost the empty city's Gunter could not compare. Individuals against tens of thousands, even if they are high-level masters or above, they have no chance of winning.

"If possible, I don't want that to happen, but the undead has this ability." If Orlando said that "intuition is equivalent to foresight" is true, Link believes that what awaits them will only be the terrifying trap of despair. Gasos's three divine punishments have been used up, and he really doesn't want to take risks and cannot take risks anymore.

Alicina frowned, she knew that what Link said was true. To conquer a town, the undead just needed to surround it, cut off water and food, and it would not take long to harvest the recruits from the entire city.

"The undead will not kill Doyle, but others are not so lucky." Link continued to lobby for the dominant priests, and the order camp was full of justice and kind-hearted dying brains to bring out the safety of these business travelers. He did not believe that the priests would rather ignore their lives and death.

"Didn't you say before that the purpose of the undead was to get rid of other direct lines of the Doyle family? Why did you say that you wouldn't kill him before returning to Krenberg? Is it inconsistent?" Alicina grabbed the inconsistent words of Link and raised objections.

Through the information obtained by Shenzhi from the vampire, Link believes that Shuanghan’s target is Doyle, not the rumored pregnant mistress, the smoke bomb that was deliberately released just to hide his real goal. He has to find a reasonable and convincing explanation...

Based on Link's understanding of Shuanghan, he knew very well that it would not spend so much energy and time on the irrelevant pawns. Gonzalez's title of Grand Duke of Befest was granted by the princes after the invasion of the undead. They were rebels who rebelled and rebelled, and there were always some unjust names. But Melville was different. He was a descendant of Befest and an indisputable orthodox. Doyle, born with the only daughter of Duke Krenberg, had the right to inherit two pieces of land as the main battlefield of the undead?

Then... why did Frost Han kill Melville? Without this direct descendant of Befest, Doyle was proven to be of noble origin, and inheritance and title were empty talk. Do you really think what I thought before? Frost Han's purpose was to attack Doyle through Melville's death, and then force him to fall from the believer of the morning light to the dead? This may explain why he had to let Doyle go and send the legendary death knight leader to deal with Melville.

Due to his disguised identity, Link was unable to tell his inferences in full, and could only use a bad reason that even he himself could not convince: "What must be said is intuition."

Doyle sneered, obviously not very satisfied with such an answer.

Seeing Link's attitude was so sure, Orlando, who had initially opposed the North Line, stood on his side.

Seeing that Alicina did not express her opinion, Doyle asked with some concern, "You don't really believe him to talk nonsense, do you?"

"To be safe, I want to make a prediction." The most critical thing about Alicina being selected to be Doyle's protector is that the great priest has the strongest prophecy ability of the Morning Light Sect.

Half kneeled on the ground, after a lengthy prayer, a golden magic circle rose from Alicina's feet, disappeared after being overwhelmed by the top of her head.

As the prophecy ended, the great priest's face looked even more ugly.

"How is it?" Doyle didn't want to follow Link's advice to take the northern route.

"It's bad..." Alicina made a prediction in all three directions. The eastern line was a sickle, the southern line was dark, and the north was bursting ice.

"Scythe, darkness, cracked ice..." Orlando's face was not much better. It sounded like it was related to death and the undead, and it was the worst situation.

"The sickle is a symbol of death that harvests life. Darkness indicates that the future is uncertain. As for the crack of ice..." Link believes that this is precisely related to Gonzalez telling him that the tide of the storm sea is low. Unfortunately, I can't say it explicitly. I have to find a way to make up a reliable lie, "It's late spring and early summer, and the frozen water surface of the storm sea has thawed, right?"

Alicina was stunned. She did forget this due to the poor predictions of the first two routes.

"I hope that as you said, the danger and instability can be minimized." Krenberg must go, and the two harms are the least, and Alicina can only choose a relatively less dangerous road. The most dangerous one is the safest one. The undead probably wouldn't have thought that their group would walk the northern route with the most undead, with the most undead.

Since all the great priests have expressed their opinions, Doyle can only accept this result. Because he has a noble status, he was sent to inform the survivors of the negotiation results.

When they heard that they were going to the north, many people protested firmly, and the hotel was noisy, and some even kept persuading them to go east. The team of 100 people was immediately reduced by half, and some of the remaining ones chose to detour the safest southern line. Most of the ones left were rescued from the lich, and there were also a few mercenaries. They all saw the skills of Link and others and felt that it was safer to follow them.

In this way, the three teams who parted ways all embarked on different paths along their destiny.

Before leaving, they searched for food and water that could be brought in the town, and the number of carriages also changed from three to five. Link, Orlando and Jafar took a car alone in the name of the palace. The merchants and the only wizard were in the middle, the mercenaries and two believers in the morning light led the way, and set off for the ferry where few people could walk.

At the end of the team, there were no other people in the carriage. In order to prevent eavesdropping, Link shared with Orlando the first-hand information he learned from Gonzalez in Chinese - the tide of the Storm Sea was receding, and it retreated dozens of miles. Choose this road and don’t worry about the melting of the sea ice.

But Orlando was worried again, could this be the conspiracy of the undead? Use the ebb and lure them to the north line?

Link denied his worries. First, the Destiny Weaver could not predict each other, and he also made a temporary decision to borrow Melville's identity. Secondly, if Frost Han really targeted Doyle, then the meaning of keeping him alive is far greater than killing. As long as he can corrupt Doyle and let him fall, and release the news that his father is a descendant of Befast, he can control two territories that fight against the undead without making any big moves. As for the spy who was placed next to the current Duke of Krenberg, it was entirely to attract Doyle back to Krenberg and interfere with the world's attention without arousing the suspicion of the Morning Sect.

"What do you explain Melville? Who can prove Doyle's origin once he dies?" Orlando felt that this could not be explained by any means.

"Don't forget, it was not Shuang Han who killed him, but Seberian, another lord. The Immortal Empire was like the human princes, who disliked each other and were inwardly quarrels." Link spread his hands. Only with this explanation can we explain why Melville left the stage early before playing its due role. I believe Shuang Han was also very upset.
